===Critical response===
Film critic Jeff Vice of the [[Salt Lake City]]-based ''[[Deseret News]]'' awarded ''The Errand of Angels'' two and a half stars in his review of the film. Vice praised the film as being "one of the more earnest and well-intentioned movies in recent memory" while, at the same, faulting it for being "preachy" and "a little talky and a little dry as a result".<ref name="VICE">Vice, Jeff. [http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700004957/Errand-of-Angels-The.html Errand of Angels, The], ''[[Deseret News]]'', August 21, 2008. Accessed September 17, 2009.</ref> Vice compared ''The Errand of Angels'' to ''[[The Best Two Years]]'' finding them similar in story and structure although believing that the former would be better had it contained some of the humor and light-heartedness found in the latter.<ref name="VICE"/>
Richard Propes of ''The Independent Critic'' called the film an "insightful, touching and funny story" and he commended the director claiming that "Vuissa paints a richly human portrait of Sister Taylor".<ref name="PROPES"/> The film also received a very positive review in ''BYU Studies Quarterly'' which almost never reviews any films.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://byustudies.byu.edu/content/errand-angels-directed-christian-vuissa |title=BYU Studies Review |access-date=2017-10-29 |archive-date=2017-10-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171029070536/https://byustudies.byu.edu/content/errand-angels-directed-christian-vuissa |url-status=live }}</ref>
